Kinexa and Dynagenix Chews from PLT Health: Joint Health Concepts Brands Should Copy
PLT Health Solutions was a title sponsor of the Future Nutra Innovation Summit, and the company brought more than ingredient literature to Houston. We came home with two chewable joint-health concept samples built around Kinexa and Dynagenix.

Your Body CAN Make Creatine... But Here's What It Costs
Over the past few years, we've repeatedly written some version of the following sentence: "creatine is metabolically expensive for your body to make."

MuscleTech Creatine Peptide 447 Updates: Now at Walmart With More Creatine Monohydrate
MuscleTech's Creatine Peptide 447 launched into one of the best-timed windows in recent sports nutrition history, arriving right as creatine and peptides became two of the industry's biggest talking points at the same time.

Triacetyladenosine: The Chemistry and Research Behind Nutristat's Bio ATP
Patrick Arnold spent three decades chasing the same basic idea: take a molecule the body already knows how to use, then find a clever way to get more of it where it counts. He famously did this with ketones, but one of his lesser-known projects took aim at adenosine, the molecule your muscles release […] Continue Reading →
